    9 letters


    (Its not really a cryptic clue, its a word substitution plus a corroboration, disguised as a criptic.)

    Heaven?

    ("devil" is spelled backwards, and a nun looks like she'd be quite at home in Heaven.)


    EDIT: Hah, never mind, that isn't 9 letters.

    I think the reference is beyond me. I have no idea what's implied by the ice cream.

    A clue will eventually come along, if necessary.

    What with this thread losing a bit of steam recently, my latest puzzle pretty much requiring a computer printout, and regulars being scattered across time zones, etc., it's hard to pace things well, as far as clues go.

    Really, the best clue I could possibly give isn't in the puzzle at all.
